    Odd UA A-320 at LGA

    Shot this odd UA 320 Friday morning at LGA, never seen a photo of this aircraft but after doing a search it appears to have looked like this since at least September, surprised UA has not fixed this yet. It has a orange "Ted" winglit plus a nice little two tone blue cowling. Probably not a big deal to some but it's fun to see these little oddities I think !

    maybe it's getting converted to a "TED" Aircraft?

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    WHAT!?!? of course they do that AFTER i walked away from deicing and reused to go back. (that pissed my boss off but they should have listened when i told them this would have happenned.) by the way, they did just as bad this morning since someone walked off with the keys to all the trucks!
